A very basic but beautiful and authentic place with a wonderful garden. We spent 5 perfect days here.

Helena was good at quickly responding to questions and provided good information about accommodation and surroundings. It is a fantastic and personal accommodation in beautiful surroundings. We enjoyed the outdoor shower and the nice outhouse. The house is well located for excursions in northern Gotland and Faro. The main hall is wonderful to stay in.

A charming cottage on the captivating island of Gotland conveniently located close to the water, nature, and the small town of Slite. This house has it all; old charm, combined with a modern kitchen. It’s a pleasant cottage surrounded by a big garden, an idyllic place to enjoy a morning cup of coffee while reading the paper. If you like to exercise, you can start across the street running on a peaceful trail by the sea.
I live in a house on the same property as the cottage. This means if there is ever any issue I am ready to help. I am also a Gotland native, so I am full of advice and "local tips" of the island that I am glad to share if you would like.
The Neighborhood is ideal for any vacationer looking for a quite getaway. The area is very family friendly with a playground and soccer field 100 meters down the street. If you want to walk a bit further Lännahamnn is a perfect place for a swim. Across from the cottage are forest trails which are great for a morning run or bike ride.
The popular Slite beach and town is a 10 minute bike ride away. The family friendly beach has a quaint cafe, tennis courts with mini golf near by. The town of Slite has everything including grocery stores, restaurants, cafes, movie theater, library, liquor store, pharmacy, banks, and a doctors' office.
There is a place for parking and bus stop up the street, but remember Gotland is an ideal place for biking.
Over the summer I rent weekly from Saturday to Saturday.

Marie was very friendly and helpful. Cottage was nice and simple. Kids loved Slite beach nearby and location was good to explore Gotland. Not too far from Visby and Fårö. Kids loved sleeping rooms upstairs and the feeling of old cottage.

Marie is a very kind woman who did everything to make our stay peaceful and friendly. She even took us with her to do some shopping the day we arrived as we did not have a car. We recommend her house. It is basic but nice and friendly. A car is needed to go around the beautiful island of Gotland. Nice and safe place for children. There is a factory nearby but it does not bother the environment nor the stay.

My self-contained guestroom is a cozy place to spend a few days while enjoying the peaceful surroundings on Gotland during fall and winter. All the comforts of home with WiFi, TV/DVD, tiled shower/WC, and a kitchenette for light meals. Comfy beds!

A self-contained double bedroom on the second floor of our home with separate entry, kitchenette, private shower&WC and your own balcony for morning sunshine. The hillside with a multitude of wild spring flowers amongst oaks and hazels is the view from your balcony! The stone wall defining the farmstead dates from the early 1800s.
Our country home has a panoramic view to the south and west overlooking fields and meadows towards Fardume Lake – a designated bird sanctuary. The nearby marshes, grass and hedgerows provide a perfect haven for a multitude of birds and other wildlife like foxes, hares and even the occasional roe deer. Thrill to the call of cranes and geese while enjoying the magnificent sunsets with the tower of medieval Hellvi church silhouetted in the distance.
The Gotlandic countryside will delight you with its spring flowers, beginning with hepatica and wood anemones in April and a crescendo of blooms reaching their peak with over 35 species of orchids in May and June. Enjoy lovely sunny summer days and wonderful autumn colours! Biking is a pleasure on Gotland with rolling fields and forest scenery, roadsides full of wildflowers and small fishing hamlets on stony coasts. I have a collection of vintage bikes that will allow you to explore the local haunts. Avonlea lies near the coast (about 1 km to Valleviken with sandy shallow beach, harbour and restaurant), Rute Stone-oven Bakery and grocery stores in Fårösund (15 km) bike rentals and ferry to Fårö, and Lärbro (10 km) that also has a superb greengrocer. There are many lovely sandy beaches in the neighbourhood as well as magnificent stonestack fields, cafés and a bakery.
I’ll be happy to tell you about all the interesting things you can see on walks/rides in the neighbourhood. Take a walk on the many forest trails or across the meadow to the bird-watching platform at the lake. It's a bird-watcher's paradise!
Bed & Breakfast is an option for those renting our bedroom suite with breakfast served in our dining room or enclosed sun porch. Or else I’ll stock your fridge with breakfast makings and an evening snack if requested at time of booking – special for bird watchers and late night ferry arrivals! Let me know if you require bed linens and towels (extra 10Euro/ person)
For further information and pictures please visit my website at (URL HIDDEN)
Welcome to the lovely serenity of Avonlea!

I love the wonderful spacious feeling of the scenery and view over Fardume Lake from my house. The birdlife is a constant source of delight. I hope my guests will enjoy exploring the neighbourhood by bike or perhaps with me on a guided horseback tour (for experienced riders). There are lots of great places to visit, the sea, seastack areas, lunch on a pier by the sea, excellent bathing beaches, a rustic country bakery with delicious pasteries and sandwiches, not to mention a mean cafe latte! There is a local museum depicting life in the area over the past century as well as Bunge Museet, a wonderful open-air museum featuring an extensive collection of historical farmsteads and other buildings from Northern Gotland. There are a several excellent dining venues, one just a 15 min walk away by the harbour in Valleviken (Sjökrogen) and the others within 10 km (Fabriken Furillen, Bungenäs). Why not pay a visit to Fårö, the island just across the sound from Fårösund, home to the Bergman Centre and numerous sandy beaches and seastack wonders?

My stay at Luella's horse farm on Gotland Island was my first experience with airbnb, and I had a wonderful time. Extremely warm and friendly, Luella went the extra mile for me, sharing a few wonderful meals with me, information about the island, and even bringing me to visit the farm of some of her friends and the area. We shared a few great laughs, and her apartment was spacious and offered a great view of the surroundings. If my travels bring me to Sweden again, I surely will stop at Luella's, to share a few great stories or have a ride on one of her horses.

Dominique2013-05-03T00:00:00Z

Luella from Avonlea - our perfect host for 5 wonderful days at Gotland. The place was easy to find - Luella picked us up at the bus stop! The flat had all (and more than) we needed - good breakfast for many days, good beds, nice and quiet surroundings and lots of interesting books on Gotland from different angles. Thanks to Luella - knowledgeable, lively and helpful host/guide.

Maren2015-09-25T00:00:00Z

Avonlea is a lovely place to stay and Luella very friendly and hospitable. She took us out, lent us bikes and even did our washing! Gotland is interesting and very peaceful.

She sent us an email in which she said do not attend and leave the key in the door. When we opened the door was table full of insects, beetles, door we first removed all because we were afraid that they would creep. Inside it was superficially clean but behind the TV also hung dried (URL HIDDEN) beds and bathrooms were very clean. Her other guests who stayed there regularly called us or welcome. There was indeed a fine collection of nature books about the area available. That was a plus.

6 star-like experience! We initially planned to stay four days in Sandra's place, but ended up staying there for nine. The house is very charming and comfortable. The garden is very spacious and great for kids. The Oranjerie is a huge bonus. It's location is superb, an ideal hub for exploring central and North Gotland. And last but not least, Sandra has been a perfect host, from start to finish. She provided us with great tips and was very clear and responsive in her communications. Long story short: highly recommended!

Marcel2017-09-03T00:00:00Z

We stayed in Sandras house for a week and it turned out to be the highlight of our entire summer. The house was VERY tidy and cosy aswell as the big garden. Walking distans to a great restaurant and two different baths. As a host Sandra is easy-going, helpfull and welcoming. We could not have asked for more!

Richard2017-07-30T00:00:00Z

Sandra's house was an amazing place to stay. It looks even better live than in pictures. The house is very cosy, has a great atmosphere and comfort. Sandra's directions were easy to follow, and her tips and recommendations are worth checking out. There is a small lake with crystal water next to the house that was a perfect swimming place in the morning. We found Sandra's place as the best location to explore Gotland and Fårö. Sandra is very kind and easy going person. Thank you Sandra so much!

We were two families with two children each, Altogether eight people who had fantastic Bi's farm north of Gotland. The house is newly renovated, with large dining and living room, cozy kitchen with lovely old-fashioned fireplace and four nice bedrooms. Two large bathrooms, both of which are newly renovated and very beautiful. There are two patios, one under a large Eucalyptus tree on the front, the other in the evening sun in the back garden where there is also gas grill. The outdoor area is absolutely brilliant! Beautiful trees, lots of lawn, bushes and ornamental shrubs and a huge yard to play football and play. Bi lives in the house next door, there is fence and bushes in between, so you are only seen when one takes initiative. But convenient having the host close, she gave great tips on area activities. We borrowed bikes and rode to a aktivitetsgårf nearby (10 min) having riding excursions, pool, tennis court and lamb barbecue every Wednesday. Ihre farm. Recommended! 15 minute bike ride from the house Ihreviken beach, very nice, perfect for kids and restaurant you that served good food. Otherwise grazing horses just outside the fence at the farm, cows grass on the other side, and it was peaceful and beautiful with flower beds everywhere. A large idyll! We would go back :)

We had a great time at the farm house. There were a total of four adults and two young kids. We all fit on the top floor of the main building which was nicely decorated and interesting for the kids. The outside area is very beautiful and we spent every evening cooking and eating outside in the yard. Every morning the kids wanted to run outside and see the horses. Our host Bi was very helpful and provided us with many ideas of places to visit in the area. We mainly stayed north of Gotland to avoid the crowds and we found many neat places to visit, all within a short driving distance. Highly recommend for people that like the feeling of living on a farm and being a bit secluded from the summer crowds.

Our first time in Gotland cannot be this awesome without Eva and Nisse. Their farm was very lovely. Our cottage was very cozy and had everything we need. We love sitting in the kitchen and see the sunset. The bathroom is very convenient. Nisse brought us to see the cows and told us a lot about farming in Gotland. Eva made us a a DIY poncho to wear because it was raining and we were with the mopped. Both of them even showed us their dinning room that collects the vintage family stuff in the rainy day that we couldn't go outside. We felt very much at home and would definitely recommend everyone to stay here! Both of them are the best!

Thanyawan2017-07-08T00:00:00Z

We had a great experience at Eva's place! Extremely welcoming and nice hosts, a real farm feeling, beautiful surroundings, and a clean spacious place. It was a bit difficult to find it in the beginning, since the farm is a bit off the main road, but Eva explained how to get there. Highly recommended!

This was definitely one of the best AirBnb we traveled to! Eva is a great host, super nice and always available with suggestions and with showing our kid everything around. The house is so cozy, well equipped and with a lovely porch where one can eat, relax or read a book. All around there are animals and fields and the position is perfect to travel Gotland with a car. Really amazing!

Gianluca2017-05-26T00:00:00Z

A cosy red cottage in the beautiful north of Gotland, cycling distance to the Ihre bay.
The main house was built in 70s and has a very retro-country style. It has two floors. Downstairs hosts the master bedroom, bathroom, open plan kitchen living room. Upstairs, there is an additional room with two single beds, and a loft with a TV corner and a sofa bed.
There are also two smaller cottages (friggebodar) each about 10 meters square with double and single beds.

The cottage is located approx 5km from the beautiful Ireviken where you will find long beaches and a restaurant. On your way to the bay is Ihre Gård, which has activities such as tennis, horse riding, a pool, small play ground, a café and a shop. In the other direction towards Stenkyrka you will pass Mix Ranch which also hosts a number of activities and a pool and restaurant. If you continue to Stenkyrka you will reach the a well stocked grocery store. The cottage is approx 30min drive from Visby.

For anyone who wants to come here should think of staying longer because once you are in you will be attracted by the surrounding every day more than the first day. The greenery around this place is fabulous and good for nature lovers. You don´t need to bring anything with you as this house is equipped with each and everything. The only thing that you need to bring is mosquito spray as they might disturb you a bit but I think if we cooperate a bit with them they won´t bother you much, liking closing windows and having some dark inside at night. The hosts are really nice they also cooperated so much and gave detailed information about everything in the house that we knew about everything even before going in the house.

Despite the non-existing welcome, the unplanned lack of sheets and the bad communication, we had a very pleasant stay in this wonderful ideally placed house in the middle of the wood (4 minutes away from the beach on foot, very quiet, surprising good taste retro design ) We would definitely recommend it.

We enjoyed very much our staying at Lennart's lovely cottage. The accommodation was cosy, very well equipped and clean. Lennart has a very friendly attitude with his hosts and we recommend this place for your holidays in the beautiful island of Gotland (the cottage is close to Faro, Visby and to many attractions of the island). Thank you Lennart!

Lennart and his wife were very warm and welcoming. We were cycle touring Gotland and this seemed like the best 1st night stop before heading out north. The cabin has all the essentials and some nice surroundings. It is also close to the blue lagoon and Fårösund if you are on a bike or car.

Modern living in privacy, sea view, close to the beach and the village.

The house of about 80 sqm has got 3 bedrooms with comfortable beds, separate WC, shower and a fully equipped kitchen. A clean and nordic style. A porch and a big wild garden outside. The wi-fi/ internet works perfectly. Tv and internet with fiber connection. Please let us know if you want to borrow a bed for baby, baby chair and a baby sitter.

This is the countryside, sheep and farming, fishing and birdwatching, exotic flowers. But also close to the shops and restaurants in Fårösund and at Bungenäs.

We had a good time on Gotland. Lotta was very flexible with regard to our arrival and departure, as we could only stay 5 nights, many thanks for it and also for the good excursion tips. The house is located just outside Farosund, with a view of the sea, absolutely quiet in solitary (only the hosts next to it and the lambs), surrounded by a wild garden. It is all exactly as in the photos and in the description, whereby the house has a little getting old, usage traces are to be recognized. The spacious terrace has been newly designed. The bed was very comfortable, from the shower came a beautiful, powerful water jet. If there is a point of complaint for us, then that would be the degree of cleanliness of the house, in view of the not insignificant cleaning fee. We think Lotta will handle this for future guests. In sum, we consider the price-performance ratio as coherent.

We had an amazing week in this house with our little baby and Lotta was very helpful and friendly. The northern parts of Gotland is beautiful and it was never far (with car) to visit places like Fårö and Blå lagunen. If you enjoy eating breakfast while watching the sea, only hearing the wind and the sheeps - this is where you should stay!

Sara2017-06-18T00:00:00Z

The house is very nice and the location with its seaview is lovely. We enjoyed our time there and did some nice biking tours to Farö.

A very nice house in rural surroundings, next to a small vineyard. Surrounded by

The living is in a two-storey house where the ground floor is newly renovated at in tip-top condidition. New SMEG stove with induction and fan, dishwasher from Siemens, large fridge from Miele, a small freezer, washing machine from LG with 8 kg capacity and dryer function. The tile floors are heated. The ground floor is basically newly rebuilt.
The top floor is not renovated so the standard is more genuine and true to the 1950's when the house was built.
There are four bedrooms and eight beds, plus a few extra beds if needed. One of the bedrooms does not have a door, so it is more suitable for children.
The other rooms are: kitchen with kitchen table, large living room, a glassed porch with dining table for 8. Two bathrooms, one with toilet and shower, the other with toilet and bath tub with a view, overlooking a field with cows and sheep grassing.
The garden is large, approximately 2000 square meters with garden furniture that seats 15. It has apple trees.
The location is very secluded at the end of a cul-de-sac road with no neighbours in three directions. The view is really great with fields, animals and open skies and the wonderful Gotland atmosphere. You even get a glimpse of the Baltic Sea from the house. You will get access to 4 bikes, two for grown-ups and two for kids.

Gotland with it's island climate is usually the best bet in Sweden for sun and nice summer days. The whole island is an old coral reef, so the ground is mainly chalk which makes the roads white and the ambient light quite extraordinary. The beaches are mostly shallow water with fine light sand. But pebble beaches can also be found.
